Scip-2026 - state court improvement - basic program

The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded the Judiciary Courts of State of Alaska (Alaska Court System) $620,717 under the State Court Improvement Program (CFDA 93.586) on October 1, 2025, with performance through September 30, 2027.

The State Court Improvement Program provides funding to state and tribal courts to improve the quality of court processes and legal representation by identifying and removing barriers to timely and effective decision-making. As a formula grant, this award flows to Alaska Court System with administrative oversight through the State of Alaska Office of the Governor.

Alaska Court System, headquartered in Anchorage and operating as the judicial branch of Alaska state government, serves as the ultimate recipient. The funding supports court improvement initiatives throughout Alaska. Alaska Court System administers the State Court Improvement Basic Program and implements specialized court models including the National Infant-Toddler Court Program's Safe Babies Court Team approach; prior funding supports therapeutic courts focused on substance abuse treatment, family reunification, access to visitation, and juvenile justice improvements.

This is a formula award; complete renewal applications are accepted every five years, with annual updates required. Alaska qualifies as an eligible state recipient under formula grant allocation schemes.
